Mayor Pam Kennedy:
I am writing this letter to you regarding the upcoming openings on the City Planning Board. I have thoroughly
had a wonderful education during my time on the Board and wish to continue serving on the City Planning
Board. I am asking that you please consider me for reappointment to my seat. I would like to opportunity to
continue doing something for the City of Kalispell and Flathead County.
Watching our community expand and blossom for future generations is encouraging to me and I am
encouraged with the positives that are beginning to sprout in our own local governing body. I am proud to be a
resident of Kalispell and would like to be able to continue to give the City of Kalispell something back. There are
so many opportunities for this valley in terms of growth and I feel that I have the ability to hopefully help make
some of those happen with the future growth in our beautiful valley.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and your consideration for reappointment to my position on the

Re: Planning Board and Zoning Commission Advisory Position C`

Dear Mayor Kennedy: CD
rn
in
1 would like to volunteer to fill one of the vacant seats on the Planning Board andzomng
Commission. It would be my honor to serve the citizens of Kalispell in one of these
advisory positions. I immensely enjoy living in this city and feel drawn to contribute to
the community in a positive way.
I grew up in Kalispell, but left to attend college and pursue work interests. However, the
Flathead offers an enviable quality of life that I found myself missing more deeply as the
years went by. When the opportunity to return arose, I did so without hesitation.
My participation would add a fresh face. I would hopefully bring unique ideas and broad
perspectives to compliment the board. I am neither a pro -business cheerleader nor an
anti -development naysayer. In my opinion, growth is natural for attractive areas of the
nation like ours, and preparing for this inevitability is essential to sustain the quality of
life our residents enjoy. Kalispell is not the same as I remember twenty years ago, and it
will not be the same twenty years from now. Only wise planning will ensure future
change is positive and agreeable.
I believe my work and life experiences give me a broad understanding of the Flathead
and it's relationship to the rest of world. I will remain unbiased, rational and respectful
of fellow members and their opinions, as well as to those presenting projects to the
board. Our citizens and businesses deserve balanced representation that will act
thoughtfully on behalf of their interests and needs.
I have enclosed a brief outline my background, work experience and education. With
these credentials and my belief in the people of the Flathead, I can make a constructive
contribution to our community. I look forward to hearing from you and serving our city.
Sincere
Tim W. Kluesner

Re: City Planning Board 8v Zoning Commission
Dear Mayor Kennedy:
I respectfully request renewal of my appointment to the Kalispell
Planning Board 8s Zoning Commission. My current tenure runs
out in April 2004, my first appearance on the Board having been
November 2002 to fill a then existing vacancy.
It's been a very exciting and rewarding experience for me to work
with the Board. Each individual is very much a dedicated and
thoughtful citizen who, to me, exemplifies what it means to give
service to the community. Moreover, the challenges we have before
us as this City and the Flathead Valley continue their growth, is
positively energizing. I look forward to continuing at yours and the
Council's pleasure.
With appreciation,
